over 50 local and regional potters donated work to be fired in the kiln with all proceeds going to odyssey. it was a great event, a truly unique and awesome experience for the whole clay community down here in the river arts district and across WNC.

the whole project of the mobile kiln is quite fascinating. see henry's website for more info!

"To work with clay is to be in touch with the taproot of life.'' ~Shoji Hamada

"The hand leads to the mind..." -Suze Lindsay

"Garth Clark wrote somewhere that with paintings and sculpture you can bring an observer into personal space but that only a cup taken into the mouth brings the art into intimate space. I enjoy this aspect of being a potter the most."

-Joseph Bennion, Horseshoe Mountain Pottery

"Making pots isn't about making pots. You can't let pots get in the way of making pots, like you can't let fishing get in the way of going fishing. What making pots is about; is your self - it is a way of life. About the way you think, about the way your mind is; it's about what has affected you all your life. " -Don Reitz
